serial number is etched into the blade?

There is what looks like a serial number printed, not etched, on the blade. I did purchase multiple knives through different orders, and the number remains the same. Therefore, what it intended to look like a serial number is not actually a serial number. In spite of this, I'm quite pleased with the knife.

Ya it's plainly marked on the blade made in China. Very disappointing. This was nowhere in the description.

I phoned the Ontario Knife Company and they told me that Rothco is a big distributor of theirs. To check the authenticity of the knife, check the sides of the hex nut at the top. One side should have the word "Ontario" and some numbers. The numbers are the government contract date. BTW I needed a magnifying glass to read the name and numbers.

NO! It is not a knock off,Ka-Bar/Becker has started printing the names on the blades instead of stamping them into the metal! Why I don't know but it will make the stamped blade models worth more in the future, I hope this helps PHIL.

Can't validate for sure, but it does have a "Stainless" engraving on the blade. Also "China".

There is no imprint on the blades. The metal base is imprinted with " rubber ring side " in English and Spanish.

As I recall the serial number (or key number) was either on the item itself or on the packaging the unit arrived in.

Usually if a knife is made in China, it will have "CHINA" stamped on the blade. My knife does not have anything stamped on the blade.

No there is not a serial # on the flashlight but there is a flat black area on it where you can engrave numbers onExcellent flashlight never without it

I'd love to know that myself! Used the blade on a huge card stock project and need to replace it.

My Morakniv is stamped "Swedish Steel on the right side of the blade, but it's one with a blue handle and black pommel and hilt. I don't know how my review came to be on the wooden-handled version.

I assume it is an original. I've had mines for quite some time and it is one of my best knives. I even like it better than my Emerson.

The tiny mark on the blade says "Seki -Japan" which indicates the steel maker. I use a diamond plate for sharpening ... the factory edge sucketh so some work was required but the edge is much better now.
